Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 1067 Registered: Jul-06 | I wouldn't run a Mac for two reasons: 1) Lack of software, windows has, oh lets see, probably like a thousand times as much software written for it. Same goes for hardware. 2) Price. Anything made by apple is WAY overpriced. From the ipod to their computers, I think they tack on a few hundred bucks just for that apple logo. That said, Macs now use intel processors so you can dual boot windows on them. That solves the software issue, but there is still the hardware and increased cost. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1552 Registered: Jul-06 | Everyone remember though!Macs are uber for video editing and things like rendering,they definately take the cake on stuff like that.The price is rediculous though for what you're getting. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderWest palm, Florida Post Number: 3907 Registered: Jan-06 | well iv been shopping around and for anything microsoft based is basically the same price as the mac. im spending like 1500 on it. basically all i do is web surf, download, edit vids and music. i dont do much else anyway. |
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1553 Registered: Jul-06 | Eh that vid is funny,it makes them look like a bunch of morons that's for sure.The thing is those are prototype computers and it's an all new OS with all new software and drivers so of course there is going to be bugs.I personally would never buy a Mac but they are good at certain things so don't go thinking they're complete pieces of sh1t,I think they are but that's just because I have no use for them. |
Silver Member Username: Dakangofkrunk16Post Number: 141 Registered: Mar-07 | yea i no it was a prototype for the new mac os but that sh1t was so dam funny i hadda post it my friend had a mac g5 but it was used for video editing and it was for his studio to make beats there good when it comes to that but for other stuff i dont think lime wire or ne othere downloading programs work for it so how u gon get songs 4 free i like windows especially windows vista i got to try that and the features are sick i dunno that mite just be me altho the mac comercials are funny |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1556 Registered: Jul-06 | ^Dell is one of the biggest pieces of shi± you can get in my opinion.Initially Dell started off as a great company with good product for a good dollar but now Dell is complete junk along with Gateway.Saying your G4 is twice as good as a Dell laptop is not a good way to compare your computer lol. |
